Summary
Perl is the leading language not only for creating web content, but also for consuming it. With a suite of Perl modules known as LWP (lib-www-perl), programmers can dispense with graphical web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and interact with web servers directly. LWP enables programmers to write "spiders" to automatically fetch web pages, extract information from HTML pages, submit forms, and write homegrown servers. This comprehensive guide to LWP and its applications comes with many practical examples. Topics include programmatically fetching web pages, submitting forms, using various techniques for HTML parsing, handling cookies, and authentication. With the knowledge in Perl & LWP, you can automate any task on the Web, from checking the prices of items at online stores to bidding at auctions automatically.
Author Biography
Sean M. Burke is an active member of the Perl community and one of CPAN's most prolific module authors. Since 1998 he has been a contributor to LWP and a columnist for The Perl Journal
